争取您那些 非猎朋友 之同情理解的好素材: 北美 HWY 撞鹿事故
开高速公路, 路见撞击野生动物大片血迹, 朋友间有些枪支收藏者,狩猎爱好者 等等 这些都是北美生活里, 司空见惯的基本元素。
但, 在中国大陆里, 或者 面对从太平洋彼岸来的许多新移民。偶有听到我等, 啊--- 你, 你你 去打猎?! 违法吧!? 那惊诧的目光: 无异于看到一个 通缉之中 一潜逃的 杀ren犯!
老上我, 不管讲些什么, 也都难辩我之清白。 久而久之。 发现一 轻松解套的单口相声题材: 北美生态太好。 野生动物繁殖过度。 高速公路多有撞击事故。
就在对方惊诧 且极力展开其车祸场面恐怖 想像力之余, 再谈及狩猎不失未 “正义之举”。 发现此 真乃一 争取对狩猎活动之同情理解的绝佳话题! 大家不妨一试之:

最近在 “国家地理” 杂志上看到一篇小文。该文章 统计了2007年美国全国死于穿过公路的鹿数(根据在保险公司报案的数字)。宾州撞死的鹿最多, 共98,313只。夏威伊最少, 57只。全国年撞死 五万只鹿以上的州有:宾州, 伊利诺,密执安,俄亥俄,纽约州。
这些数字只是有记录的案例。没有人报案的未统计在内, 实际数字应该更高。全国保险公司在撞鹿上的赔偿金(鹿把汽车撞坏了)总额每年约为1,500,000美元。

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Pennsylvania ranks first among the top ten worst states for vehicle-deer collisions, according to an insurance survey published Thursday.
Citing claim statistics, auto insurer State Farm said that drivers in Pennsylvania experienced more deer collisions than any other state between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005.
State Farm estimates that 1.5 million vehicles collide with deer every year, resulting in 150 motorists deaths and $1.1 billion in vehicle damages.
With deer migrating and mating season occurring between October and December, the auto insurer says a higher number of deer are near roads this time of year.
Coming in second and third were Michigan and Illinois, followed by Ohio and Georgia. Minnesota and Virginia ranked sixth and seventh respectively, while Indiana, Texas and Wisconsin rounded out the list at eighth, ninth and tenth.
The insurance company said it based its rankings on the total number of deer-accident claims filed with State Farm and did not adjust for population.
The auto insurer says that attentive driving is still the best deterrent for such accidents.
In order to avoid such collisions, State Farm says drivers should use their high-beam headlights as much as possible to illuminate deer hiding on the side of the road and to not rely on car-mounted 'deer whistles,' which studies show not to affect the animal.
If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, according to the company, it is best not to swerve, which could increase the risk of injury and could cause you to lose control of your car

Every year, moose and deer collisions are all too prevalent on North American and Northern European roads. Colliding with these animals, particularly with moose, is potentially fatal for the humans and at the very least, is likely to cause a lot of damage to your car (let alone to the animal). Here are some suggestions for avoiding collisions in the first place.
